Can't you read? He's sayin that races and their identities change or disappear all the time. America's identity is totally different then it was 150 years ago.

But who says it's always a good thing?
I don't want my race, heritage and culture to just disappear in a few decades.
If you are a Greek person and walk around at the Acropolis in Athens and watch the Parthenon, an amazing temple built almost 2,500 years ago, you are watching your own culture and heritage in absoute wonder.
The Indians of America can't do that and in the Middle East there's hardly any people left who can feel attached to the historical ruins there because all those peoples and cultures are mixed and the original civilizations extinct.

Modern Greece and the Greece that birthed the Parthenon are not the same culture. The Ancient Greeks as we commonly think of them are effectively extinct.
You don't want your culture to disappear in a few decades?
Too bad. Welcome to the human condition. Everybody's on board, and there's no leaving this train.
Woo woo.

Of course they're not the same culture but modern Greeks are the direct descendants to ancient Greeks. They even have the same language.
Besides there are nations who actively protect their culture. France and Japan for example and I respect them for that. It's not a force of nature to be mixed in a melting pot á la America.
